Here is a prime example of a rather small old German handmade Sulphide with the figure of a running rabbit inside. The image is well centered with average detailing with a thin bubble wrapped all the way around that sometimes enhances and sometimes partially obscures the detailing. The single hand ground pontil mark is directly below the figure and can be seen in the sixth picture.
CONDITION: MINT 8.99 I can't see where the marble has seen any use of any kind. The only thing I can find using a 20x loop and bright light is some exceptionally light wear, much lighter than you would expect from rolling around in a drawer or a jar for a hundred and fifty years, and the tiniest of pinpricks, most of which are as-made. It is very rare to find one of these old sulphides this clean and is one of those that near mint+ is a lot better than many mint- marbles I've seen.
